Has anyone ever done a land border crossing with DTV and got 180 days? Coming up from Malaysia
Answer summary
The community confirms that holders of the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) can obtain a 180-day stay when crossing the land border from Malaysia into Thailand. Several users shared personal experiences stating they received 180 days upon entering Thailand, regardless of the country of origin, as long as they are legitimate tourists. However, it's worth noting that some users mentioned current issues with border crossings due to flooding, particularly in the southern regions.

it was actually from the issuing agent who got me the DTV she advised me to do Air arrivals because some land border agents are not 100 percent

I was told some land border crossings don’t give 180 days. Depends on the immigration officer. That’s why I asked. I know it’s all good on air arrivals

Are you trying to come up soon? Because at the moment southern border crossings are closed from the flooding.
